Lester Brown thinks reducing carbon dioxide emissions 80% by 2050 is not fast enough.

Lester Brown is an American environmentalist who has focused on studying the environment and its protection. In recent years, he has made alerts for world leaders and large industries to strive to stop CO2 emissions because this greenhouse gas has a massive influence on global warming.

Therefore, Lester Brown considers that the projections of reduction of greenhouse gases (especially CO2) made by the world powers for the year 2050, ignore the reality because he considers that CO2 emissions must decrease by at least one 80% in 2020 to avoid drastic consequences in current living conditions. Therefore, the answer is B.
